When iGoogle disappears

<p>So… iGoogle ceases to be in November of 2013. And, surprisingly, I care!</p>

<p>Because I use iGoogle as my home page and I have all sorts of gagdets on the page that make it perfect for me. Weather in several cities I frequent; Spanish word of the day, idiom of the day, verb of the day etc. Google translate gadgets for Spanish-English and the reverse… NY Times headlines, my Google calendar, gmail, mapquest gadget…</p>

<p>Actually I won’t miss the last 3 and probably not even the weather. But I love having my Spanish language gadgets on my home page. It’s part of my daily routine in becoming bilingual.</p>

<p>So far I’m not participating in Google+ (if that’s relevant) and I don’t use Google Chrome either at this point.</p>

<p>How do I get the same sort of great home page, personalized to me?</p>

<p>I know I’ll get Plain English guidance from the smarter people than I here in the Cafe.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I have this problem, too. DS says that protopage ([Protopage</a> RSS Reader and Start Page](<a href=“http://www.protopage.com%5DProtopage”>http://www.protopage.com)) might be a good replacement, so I plan to try that out.</p>

<p>He actually said that he’s heard that newer operating systems will be set up more like smart phones and that I’d just position widgets around the screen like I do with my phone. I don’t know if I’m ready for that just yet.</p>
